New possibilities for Banshu textiles

hatsutoki is a textile brand called Banshu textiles. Banshu woven fabric is a thin woven fabric centered on cotton that has a history of more than 200 years in the Kita-Harima district of Hyogo prefecture. It is a production area that has 80%. Yarn-dyed woven fabrics are dyed in various colors and then woven, so they have the characteristic of being able to create various patterns, and we specialize in the production of shirt fabrics centered on checks, stripes, borders, and chambray. Weaving is often produced in places where large rivers flow and are blessed with abundant water, but in Nishiwaki City, where the dough for hatsutoki is born, the Kakogawa, a first-class river, also flows. The abundant water creates the beauty of the coloring of the woven fabric and brings out the color that can only be expressed there.

Hatsutoki was born from the idea that "I want to unravel the cloth of Banshu textiles and convey the impression of touching it for the first time." In response to the current situation where uniformed clothes are overflowing in the market in pursuit of trends, I want to convey the wonderfulness of Banshu textiles that are comfortable to the skin while telling what kind of feelings, where and how they are made. Shimada Weaving Co., Ltd., which manufactures hatsutoki, has been working with craftsmen for dyeing (thread dyeing), diameter making (thread preparation), weaving (weaving), and finishing (texture) in Banshu textiles for 80 years. However, we have just created "good things" together.

Make full use of the technology cultivated in the production area

hatsutoki uses specially fine threads to create clothes with delicate colors, bold colors, and fabrics that are particular about the texture. Is realized. It is the 100th single yarn that hatsutoki is good at that makes it possible to melt. Considering that ordinary casual shirts are usually 40-60th, you can imagine how thin and delicate 100th is. And it is not a "double thread" that twists two threads into one, but a "single thread" that uses one thread, which further enhances the high technical capabilities of hatsutoki. You can see. Since the 100th single yarn is extremely fine, it cannot be dyed at any dyeing factory, and it has a unique technique established through many years of collaboration with local craftsmen.
